========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it’s January – it means Motorcycle Show time in Canada – I remember during my years working for Yamaha Canada, I would leave home just after New Year and be travelling to all of them – not getting home until February sometime. Although this was very tiring. I always enjoyed doing the shows, chatting to people about the new bikes and making new friends. – Later we always helped the ATRA club at the Alberta shows chatting to Trials people, and doing the commentating at a lot of the Trials demos. – Here is a pic from one in Edmonton – when we showed off our bikes displayed on the ATV folding ramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
